A New Year Means New Opportunities!!!

My wife Marineli seems to be branching out! Apparently, she is the head coach for the Detroit Loins!? Hmmm, here is the article...as featured at http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/


Detroit hires Marinelli

ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) -- Marinelli, who spent the past 10 seasons in Tampa Bay as defensive line coach, said Thursday that as coach of the Detroit Lions he doesn't plan to worry about the team's struggling past.

"The issue now is what we do at this point. The issue is us and how we're going to move forward," Marinelli said during a news conference at the team's practice facility to announce his hiring.

In his time with the Buccaneers, Rod Marinelli's unit helped establish an NFL record with 69 straight games with at least one sack from 1999-03. He had the title of assistant head coach added in 2002.

"Football is a show-me game. I'm tired of talking," Marinelli said. "You start putting on pads and do the work. Let our film talk for us."

With Lions president Matt Millen's players and coaches, the Lions are an NFL-worst 21-59 over the past five seasons -- since the former linebacker and TV analyst became an NFL executive for the first time.

"We have a lot of work to get done here and I believe we have the people who want to get that work done," Millen said.

Marinelli has not been a head coach at any level, but attracted interest from at least one other team with an opening this offseason. The Oakland Raiders interviewed Marinelli on Monday, then he traveled to suburban Detroit for a second interview with Millen.
